BEN 10: THE MANCHESTER MYSTERY

BOOM! Studios has announced a March release for Ben 10: The Manchester Mystery, the newest middle grade original graphic novel based on Cartoon Network's global hit series Ben 10, with writer CB Lee and artist Francesca Perrone.

Here's how BOOM! describes the book:

"Ben Tennyson isn't your average 10-year-old...he's also the wielder of the Omnitrix, an alien device that allows Ben to shift into ten different alien forms from around the galaxy. Together with his cousin Gwen and Grandpa Max, they protect the world from alien incursions.

"The game's afoot in Ben 10: The Manchester Mystery as Ben Tennyson attempts to solve the mystery of a famous haunted house! Solving the Manchester Mystery would guarantee Ben a spot on his favorite supernatural television show but as he investigates the abandoned home, with his trusty cousin Gwen and Grandpa Max to round out the ghost hunting team, new secrets are revealed and it turns out not everything is as it seems. Science meets the supernatural as Ben wields the Omnitrix to pit aliens against ghosts in this thrilling new tale of mystery!"

"Ben thinks he's going to be bored at the 'Living Museum' at the historical reenactment town of Manchester, but when he finds out his idols the Mystery Boys are there investigating some strange disappearances, he's excited to prove himself," Lee said. "It was so much fun to write this ghostly adventure with Ben, Gwen and Grandpa Max as they put together clues and solve a mystery!"
